Fig. 2

The geographic distribution of reviewed studies located within the native range of white-tailed deer. Circles overlay the state or province where previous studies occurred. Circle size corresponds to the number of genetic studies on white-tailed deer originating from those locations. Studies incorporating samples from multiple states or provinces were counted individually for each location. Additional studies from managed herds or zoological parks from Finland, Germany, and New Zealand were also reviewed but were not mapped since they occurred outside of the native range of white-tailed deer.
